today with president obama, there are 21,000. no president in american history has committed as many resources and as much manpower to securing the border as this president has, so those measurements need to be objective and they can't be left to the subjective whims of folks who don't have a political incentive to say the border is secure. >> before we let you go, congressman, we know democrats are mobilizing efforts to turn texas blue. what do you think of those efforts? are we getting closer to cobalt? >> i think we are. i think the republican party in texas especially, quite frankly, has gone off the rails. you have the hard right that now controls the party in texas as their elected leaders, so there are many of us working very hard who believe that the interests and the values of everyday texans are not served by the people, by the republicans in office right now. >> congressman joaquin castro for episode one of the castro chronicles. thank you for joining us, as always. >> thank you, alex. >>> coming up, baltimore ravens'

remembered as the most liberal speech of his entire left wing political career. as you know, it came at a time when his administration happens to be engaged in an all-out assault on the second amendment and the rights of law-abiding americans. however, it seems that trampling on your right to keep and bear arms is not enough for this president. no. now, he is setting his sights even higher. so what's his next target? the first amendment of course. according to the anointed -- the reason why he's failed on the economy, failed to create jobs, failed to rein in radical extremism eyebrowed because some of us have dared to speak out about his agenda. >> the anointed one as opposed to the elected one? >> stephanie: is it wrong when new polls come out i picture sean hannity's head exploding? obama's approval rating hits three-year high. inaugural address. guess what, sean. it mirrors the election results! what people think of his inaugural address which is what he ran and won on. >> you raised a good point jacki. he's not the anointed one. he's the elected one. >> they

obama learned this early on. he had a four year head start and with his data machine, they built a kind of grassroots tactical edge that is the model of politics. my favorite example of this is that the obama campaign actually hired a guy in cleveland who is sole job it was to go to work shops all day he'd go to one barbershop, then another, he'd sit around talk to people, what are the hopes and dreams. what is going on in the family. what are their financial problems. so when it came time to turn them out on election day, it's like turning out your friend. now i don't care how much money you put into media buys you cannot done kate that connection with voters. it seems that strategists are catching on. but there has to be a caveat. 2012 was not 2010. 2010 i would say was a policy referendum on policy issues, healthcare, bailout spending. 2012 at the end of the day was a personality contest at the presidential level. mitt romney was the next white guy in line and like bob dole. no doubt republicans will lose that
